At McKinley we have fifty-four students in ESL program. We have a full time teacher to provide this support, Mrs Bates-Heithoff. There are many different languages represented, Spanish, Vietnamese, Nepalese, Arabic, Albanian, Hindi and Japanese just to name a few. We feel very fortunate to have the program here at McKinley.
